I heard adam say on interview that he doesn't really hit the gym that much. How do you have arms like this naturally? Was I the only person to notice this on TV?

Activity and genetics.  They aren't really above average all that much...he is just lean

How much muscle mass do you gain from surfing? He's either lifting or been lifting.

that's even more impressive. Most 32yr olds aren't in shape.

in the playoff he hits a 3wood on the tee while angel hits a iron and I believe the iron went longer.(or about the same)

Most 32-year-olds aren't professional golfers.


I'm sure he lifts. Most PGA players these days put more importance on physical fitness. Like some others have already said, it's not that he's jacked, he's just lean. When you're thin and with the proper diet, it doesn't take much weight lifting to build that amount of muscle.

In my Callaway stand bag:

9.5 Degree Taylormade Burner Superfast Adilla Voodoo shaft
3 Wood: Cleveland Launcher 15 degree Adilla Voodoo shaft
Irons 3-SW: Callaway X-14 Steelhead

Lob wedge: Cleveland 60 degree

Putter: Ping Anser Karsten

His arms aren't above average? Lol. Yeah, you get well defined massive biceps without lifting. Sorry, but that's just a silly statement. They may be average biceps for an NBA player, but he may have the largest arms on the PGA tour.

+1 MyrtleBeachGolf. Maybe he hasn't lifted in awhile, be he had to have had to sometime in his life and not a trivial amount either. The average person I see is carrying at least an extra 25 pounds and that's not in muscle.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since. 
    • I hate that I agree with this. But the guy is like a Ferrari with four flat tires trying to go 200 mph. Bad things can only come from that. He turns 50 on December 30th. I wonder how long Golf Cart Tiger lasts out there. 
    • When you’ve resorted to this type of stuff, hang ‘em up.
    • Happy April Fool's Day! 😅 Me after laughing for a bit about the joke:  
    • Ex Cigarette smoker here. Quit 20 years ago and don't miss it. However I was looking at this from a Cigar perspective. Doesn't golf and cigars go together? I play with a lot of golfers who only smoke cigars on the course, and maybe one on the patio of the 19th hole. I mean after a rough day of golf what is better than a bourbon and a cigar?   I should also add the the second most smoking on NY courses is pot, but it is legal her. probably not during competition!
